Tobati, or Yotafa, is an Austronesian language spoken in Jayapura Bay in Papua province, Indonesia.

[1] Notably, Tobati displays a very rare object–subject–verb word order.

Tobati has a five-vowel system of /a e i o u/, realized as /a ɛ i ɔ ʊ/ in closed syllables.

Nasal-stop clusters only permit a nasal and a stop of the same place of articulation.

Neither the bilabial, consisting of /b/ and the /f/ allophone [p], nor palatal nasal-stop clusters distinguish voice (i.e. they are [pm~bm] and [cɲ~d͡ʒɲ] respectively).
